Thanks for the responce everyone! I have a wonderful list to work with now, you've set me up for a good year of happy reading I think.
Oh I came to this realization eventually too and I also realized clichés aren't necessarily a bad thing. But my sister was a big influence, for better or worse, on the media I liked growing up and thus the media I like now. I have half the WoT series so I will finish it eventually, but no need to rush, i'll come back to it when I'm ready.

As for the WoT using a lot of clichés: who do you think started most of those? That's almost (but not quite) like saying the Lord of the Rings uses a lot of fantasy clichés. It does...but that's not Tolkien's fault. The blame for that lies in his imitators.
